Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani:

The biggest casting coup in the recent times of Hindi cinema is that of bringing together ex-couple Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone for a film and only Karaj Johar could accomplish that. The filmmaker has roped in the ex-flames for a romantic film to be directed by Ayan Mukherji of the Wake Up Sid fame. The film surely has all eyes on it even before the first look is out.

Chennai Express:

The first look of the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Chennai Express has already created quite a buzz amongst his fans. Arguably the most successful filmmaker Rohit Shetty takes up the task of bringing back the Om Shanti Om pair of SRK and Deepika Padukone in his ambitious project that follows Khan’s character on a 35-hour train journey from Mumbai to Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu. True to Rohit Shetty’s sensibilities, the film is supposedly a complete masala entertainer. Click the Movie button below for more info:
